Nominating for adt1.0.0.

Because of the new way we import mail folders into Local Folders, if we don't
take this fix and there's no Local Folders, then import fails.

Branch build 2002-04-19: WinMe, Linux RH 7.1, Mac 10.1.3
Verified Fixed on the branch.

- WinMe: imported Comm 4.x, Eudora, Outlook Express in separate profiles.
(although I had problems imported Outlook even with a Local Folders already
existing but I think this is a separate issue regarding my mapi32.dll file. I'll
reinstall Outlook and log a separate bug if necessary)
- Mac 10.1.1: imported Comm 4.x, Eudora in separate profiles
- Linux RH 7.1: imported Comm 4.x

Ninoschka, you dont have to reinstall outlook, try getting the right mapi32.dll 
and put it inyour system directory and then everything should be fine.
